My biggest gripe with GF III was that Michael was no longer Michael anymore, but he was Al Pacino, during his "hoo-hah" era.

I mean not only did he no longer look like Michael but the brooding, calculating demeanor was gone completely.

Im not sure if that was done on purpose to show us Michael had grown, but it was like watching a different character or just Pacino.

Sofia Copppola takes alot of flack for her acting in the movie, it probably didn't help that she was the directors daughter. But i really didn't think she was that bad, i mean shes not a top class actress sure, but she wasn't as bad as some make out.

GF III for me showed us just how invaluable John Cazale and Robert Duvall were to the first two movies. Its a pity they didn't work something out for Duvall.
